Medidata Solutions (NASDAQ: MDSO) has been selected by Sanofi, one of the
world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, as the clinical technology standard
for clinical data collection, management and reporting and
performance-enhancing analytics across its entire R&D organization. Sanofi is
actively transitioning to replace some of its existing clinical technologies
with Medidata’s cloud-based solutions across all Sanofi Global R&D as part of
a company-wide initiative to achieve cutting-edge productivity.
Sanofi manages one of the largest R&D organizations in the industry, with a
diverse pipeline in vaccines, diabetes, oncology and orphan drugs, among other
areas. Sanofi is focusing on maximizing the efficiency of its clinical
development organization as well as improving visibility into the progress of
its global trials, and undertook a competitive evaluation of clinical
technology to support its research goals.
*“Sanofi is involved in a significant amount of the industry’s most
innovative research, greatly affecting the lives of millions of patients,”
said Tarek Sherif, CEO, Medidata Solutions. “With the quality, complexity
and volume of its research efforts comes the challenge of providing its
R&D teams with the best technology for supporting the full range of its
clinical studies. In this period of unprecedented change in drug
development at Sanofi and industry-wide, selecting Medidata substantiates
the value our solution offers today, improving operational and decision
effectiveness and thereby accelerating timelines and minimizing costs and
risk.”
Sanofi will implement Medidata’s electronic data capture, management and
reporting, coding and safety data capture applications. Additionally, the
organization chose Medidata’s clinical business analytics tool to provide
metrics and industry benchmarks that enhances decision-making by executives
and operational managers throughout the trial life cycle.
*“As leading pharmaceutical companies look to transform their clinical
development processes to achieve their productivity and revenue goals,
it’s critical that they select vendors with the right business model,
global scale and a flexible, feature-rich technology platform that serves
both their current needs and their vision for the future,” said Sherif.
